DKCEM15EI4 10, l?SfiJ HIS TWENTIETH OF BEUEMBEH. BY ESTIIER EERLS KENNETH. My etory begins in rniddummcr when the ser.rlet lilies were a-bloom in the gnrdea of Larch Lanes, and Lindaey Waltoa were July rosea in her hair. In her hair, and upon her bosom, aad clinging to the airy whito draperies she wore, aa if slio was Bummer's very self. It was Terry who painted her for his private gallery, and called the head '"June." Why, thoro waa June's very Bunshine in the golden ripples of her hair! She knew that sho was beautiful and exulted i n the fact. I have seen her let those wonderful waves of hair down over her knees, and watou tho lights amors thera with a fascinated intentncs3. 1 have watched her turning her polished arm in the light with a smile of joyous .delight upon her lips. I never chided her; I only smiled too. It was the girl's innate love of beauty which made her so enjoy her own. Tho sa'V) instinct made her collect beautiful things around her. iler drcs', her horse, her dog, her rooms, were all perfect in their way. I was on.'y her lather's housekeeper, Marion Douglas Aunt Manny she used to call me a decent Scotch body, and old-time nurse to Lindsey'a mother. For Mrs. Walton had been Sjotch. It was from thenco that the girl got her namo and her bonny yellow hair. Colonel Valton wa rich, and Lindscy was his heiress, but when she was little, a fair-faced- bairn, slumbered in her tiny cot, I used to shed tears of pity over her, for " he's but poor that's ill loved," as they used to say in the old country, and no one on earth loved Lindsay when Bhe was a child but her old Aunt Manny. Bat, as she grew older, I used to tremble, looking at her. Her cheeks took on a hue like tho sunset, her blue eyes grew more and moro winsome-, and then her hair was a glory about her when she wa3 scarce lourteen. Her father was aye surly with her. lie had hoped that the child would have been a boy it was Jennie's only on.3 and when ho found that it .was a daughter which God had given him, he glowered on the little sleeping face, turned away, and it is truo for mo that ho did not know his own child, two years later, when ho met her in the porch, walking with a servant " Who's little one have joa there?" he asked Nan. " Your own, sir," Btraighhay said the honest girl. He gazed a moment on the little pink face then offered the child his hand but she would not take it: and ho ihruggcd his bhoulleraand turned away. It was iust after this that we came to Larch Lanes to live.tho new country seatjwhich Colonel Walton had named after his old English home. There were beautiful grounds to it. The larches grew everywhere, sometimes in long rows with wild grapavines lacing them togather. Only the undergrowth was kept out, and the Bhade was beautiful. But the garden was highly cultivated. A great deal of tho ornamental Burubbery. was foreiira. There was a double row of graceful Frcnoh poplars along the terrace, and below lay the whole smiling garden, a great web of color. At the south end was a summerhouse, all open, and the pillars twined with vines roses, jasmine and clematis. Here Lindsey used to sit for hours with her book and her dog. He was no blinkioe littlo Blenheim, but an enormous great woif mastiff whom Lindsey had adopted when ho was a mendicant pupp7 aad cherished into the most magnificent proportions. The two were inseparable. Sho would sit upou his back and ride down the garden path as if he were a Sho was a happy girl. I don t think, until ehe was twenty, that she ever thought she had a trouble excepting the loss of her father's love, if that can be lost which was never gained. . She scarcely saw him. Ho breakfasted very early and was vay to tho city, not returning until the evening boat. Larch Lanes was on tho seashore. Tn those djvs ho was a Iarsro handsonio man of fifty dark, and full of tierce, imperious ways. As 1 nave said, Lindsey got her bonnie looks from her mother, Jennie Lindsey. Colonel Walton was always a seli'indulgeBt man, and, I think, in those first vears at Larch Lanes, he had pleasures that were best kept sscret . fi-om his familv. Lindsev was too innoccut of evil to Eusneot this. She stood in awe of her father as of some 3uperior power. He was utterly a mystery to her. with his great abilities, courage and coldness. Sho believed him superior to all human weaknesses, and I never undeceived her. Her life was. after all, not a lonely one, for she studied a great deal, having several masters from the city, and then sho was very popular in the neighborhood amonar the young tolks Both at Grasmero and the Willows were large families of merry girls who were rather led by Lindsey. The few young men she knew admired her exceedingly, but Lindsey kept all lovers at a distance until Ben. Arun del camo. lie niado his appearance nrst a3 a visitor at the Willows There Lindsey met him. It was bcauuiul to see tnem so fond of each other, two young people, all in all to each other, and life all before them. lor myselr. 1 was heartily glad that Lindsey's wedding was couiinz in my day, for I was near sixty when my darling's twentieth birthday came, and I could not bear the thoughts of dying and leaving her alone in the world. For I loved her well, and thoush sho was a beauti fttl, wealthy young girl, and I an ugly n (1 woman, we were mucn to cacn other. Many a tweet little secret she tnld ma that summer after Ben began coming olten to Larch Lines, and the sweetest of all was that she loved him. "Well, my lass," I said, stroking her annnv head that lay upon my knees. "I'm well pleased with this. Ban is cude. and 'eude folk are scarce take care of one,' the old proverb Bays, you know. Alter a while I asked her if she had told her father. " No. uot'yet," tho answered. "Then tell him soon to-morrow," I said. " Maybe I will," she replied, dreamily. "Maybes are no aye honeybees. Lindsey dear," I answered. " Best have it settled and be married soon, lief ore you changa our mind. U las ses and lasses are brittle ware. I think Bun should know." " Change? t change. Aunt Manny?" And she lau?,hed soltly. I took her sweet lace between n.y bands. . " Vnn re not tickle, lassie mine. You've a strong heart, but I've lived

FIUDAY.....

to see many and many as fair a ship of hopo as yours go down into a soundless sea. You and Ben must marry, Lindsey, and then you will belong to each other before God and man, and whate'or betides, you can bear it together." You see I had no thought but that Colonel Walton would consent to their being married immediately. But he said: "I have no objection to the young man, but you can't be married now," Lindsey did net venture to ask why. Sho camo to me, looking a little scriou3, and asked me what I suspected was the reason her father should wish to delay tho wadding. She knew will enough, poor child, that it was not because of his fondness for her. My heart sank. I had a foreboding, then, that ail would not be well for my treasure. After I went to bed I could not sleep for the dull roaring of the sea which 1 never had minded before. When Lindsey told Ben, he said cheerily: " Well, ask him again in a month." The two did not mind; they were so happy together. It was only foolish

old i-unt Manny wh feared trouble. ISut a was that bad with my presentiment that I used to turn away and cry when I saw the two frolicking among the larches, or nestled tip to each other in the porch in the moonlight, murmuring their londness. The Arundels were one of the best families in the Stats, but they wero. not as wealthy as they had been. Ben had little besides his profession, but I don't think that would really have obstructed the marriage. The difficulty came of Colonel Walton's evil ways. One evening he brought company home with him from the city to pass the night. When the carriago came up from the landing, I saw that the Colonel had two men with him. One was a large, florid-faced man, with a boisterous laugh; the other was an elegant polished gentleman, with a diamond oa hia hand, and singular eyes of a light hazel. He carried a light cane with a lawn's head of pure Sold at tho top, audi divined before ack the coachman told me, that this last was Boss Guthrie of Guthrie Falls, the richest landholder in the country. The other was Major Southly of the cavalry. Though it was near mine o'clock, tho colonel ordered supper, and sent to the cellar for wine. I put about me how to serve the table, for Colonel Walton was one who never would take any excuses if a thing was not done precisely as he wanted it, and unreasonable as it was to make such a demand upon me, without notice, I knew that that supper must be well served. So I hastened to make a few hot dishes, and gave Lindsey the keys to&et out the silver, and sent Jack into the orchard to pick peaches by moonlight. Lindsey bad the lruit dishes wretHd with flowers, and broke the dew-wet rcses on the piazza and made boqueta for the table. Meanwhile I knew the gentlemen were playing cards in the drawiogrooin, and talking very freely over their wine. Lindsey was a little excited, and had such a beautiful color I was only too glad to remember that her father seldom desired her attendance at table when he brought company out to suppers as he had done once or twice betore. For I especially disliked the looks of those two men. Lindsey, of course, cared nothing for them. It was only.her father sho wished to gratify by adorning the table. So when she had wreathed the peacho3 with whito roses, and trailed scarlet honeysuckle vines from the little silver vases, and sent Tip in with them, she said, yawning: Ibal s ail I can do for you. Aunt Manny. I'll go to bed now, I believe." fur it was pat ten o'clock. J ast then Tip came back and said that the Colonel wanted Miss Lindsey to make her appearance at supper. " O Aunt Manny !" she exclaimed, I don't want to 1" I did not speak for a moment, but stood wiping a little ashes from the sil ver cofiec urn, and trying to think what could be done. I think I would have sent in word that she was ill if I had not been ash."med to let the eyes of uoy darling see me descend to an un truth. "But you will have to co if your father has sent for you." I said finally. She uttered a little impatient ex clamation, and ran up stairs to dres, lor there was no time to be lost. We were dishing up the supper then. LTO BE CONTINUED. J It. II.
